IMO, yes, but I haven't heard the original Pros. They aren't 3x better though, but they cost 3x as much. If you're looking just for sound and don't need to make calls with them or use Siri with them or something, then the Arias are a better value. They are close to the Pro 2 in sound quality.

Reply to AirPods Max custom tuning by ThUwUsi

Don’t mess around with the excellently tuned AirPods Max. Don’t do so with other properly made headphones. Same story with earpads.

My Chu’s are better than the two sets of Truthear Zero’s I’ve already sent back.

People need to stop looking at prices and actually focus on the level of detail an iem can put out and how it responds to EQ’ing. I am not touching any of Crin’s shit if he thinks the design of the TE Zero was proper. It is not.

I have both, and I retired the Chu in favor of the Zero, but it was because of the horrible ear hooks and sticky little cable, not the sound. I bought them both to get a feel for different sound signatures before spending money on headphones anyway, and they both helped a little with that.

The Zeros are emergency back ups in my pack, but at work, I mostly listen to my Airpod Pro 2s and use the Aria when they're charging. At home, it's strictly headphones. I use the felt pouch from the Chu to store my Qudelix 5K. Coupled with the little bubble wrap pouch that the 5K came in, it is an awesome storage and transport solution. I tossed the Chus into a laptop bag in case I ever forget to take something along to plug into (or pair with) the laptop. I actually like the sound of the Chu, though.
